For this fundraiser she wants to walk to Scarborough from our home in Pontefract. After lots of planning we have found a route which we've plotted from Castleford to Scarborough and we finish in just 5 days, returning home on the 6th.
She wants to do this, she's determined to help people like her daddy who we are very lucky to still have with us but also for all the daddies and mummies and everyone struggling with suicidal thoughts and their mental health.
PAPYRUS is the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, in 2018 over 1800 young people took their own lives.
